I Amsterdam


Fantastic DX-Pedition worked today .... FT5ZM International HAM Radio DX-Pedition to one of most remote place on the Earth .... Amsterdam Island!

Of course as New One!

Real 300`th one! 

By official calculation in 300`th Unofficial says 302 ... never mind ...

FT5ZM started last Sunday. Had no time that day and no chances. Antenna was down because of strong gusts. Today was a day to play some radio and fight with massive pile-up!

Amsterdam & St. Paul Island are number 6`th Most Wanted DXCC


Last time Amsterdam Island was activated in ... 1998 by FT5ZH, FT5ZJ, FT5ZI .... 15 years ago! 
No doubt ... demand for FT5ZM is huge ...
Can you imagine pile-up on 21Mhz CW wide up to 24 ? Never seen something like that ... I am not surprised ... never heard Amsterdam Island on the bands ...

Today I had pleasure to work Amsterdam Island on 5 bands ... Thanks to one of the strongest EI Contest station EI0PL and their antennas. Now I can relax and try to work them from home QTH.
Good Luck to All
